I hope by now most of you have at least begun your Christmas shopping. No matter how good your intentions may be, getting gifts usually turns into a race to the finish line. It is hard to always find the time to get that perfect gift for the ones you care about. Rest assured that on Christmas Day when you are with your families that the greatest gift you will receive that day is sharing your life with these people.

I recently had an appointment at Ohio State University this past week. My father and I got up at the crack of dawn and made the 3 hour trip to see our favorite doctor, Dr. Raman. ​

It is nice when we go to see her because it gives us an opportunity to see where our raised money is going to and to hear any new updates directly from Dr. Raman herself. I am pleased to say that my appointment went very well and the results of my latest MRI scan were very promising. There was no further scarring and my scan looked nearly identical to my scan the previous year. This was the only gift my family and I could have ever asked for, my continued good health. We are overjoyed and it certainly makes this time of year feel all the more special.​I hope all of you have a great holiday and enjoy the company of your loved ones this holiday season. Good luck out there at the malls and be careful In the snow. Also, pay close attention to the BallouSkies website as there will be some big things happening early next year. Stay safe, give a lot, love one another.
